Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Correct and well done. A very funny film. I saw it when I programmed it at the film society that I was involved with many years ago. Two other Laurel and Hardy short films Liberty (1929) and The Battle Of The Century (1927), along with a number of Buster Keaton, Charles Chaplin , D.W. Griffith and other notable short films that were mainly silent titles were screened including the well known The Great Train Robbery from 1903..dedeposter said:C609 - The Music Box (1932), classic Laurel and Hardy (remake of the now lost "Hats Off").
If no one else answers C608 tomorrow I'll hazard a guess, although I think I'm wrong.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
( Everyones/Trove)
Isle Of Intrigue (1931) and Spur Of The Moment (1931) were two of the earliest Australian made sound found films. Both films were short feature films with each running only fifty minutes each in duration. They were released on a double bill Australian programme, along with e third film from the U.S.A Fifty Fathoms Deep. (1931) which had a running time of 70 minutes. Both Isle of Desire and Spur Of The Moment were made by A.R.Harwood Productions.
Australian film poster material is super difficult to locate for these two films. The above Spur Of The Moment glass lantern slide being the only image located.

It depends if you have rare and valuable titles. eBay, emovieposter in US for better titles, Facebook and private sales and there are several Australian auction houses that will take poster consignments.
I'm sure there would be a few people, like me, keen to see any lists you have.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
Thank Bruce for your appreciation of my imput.Bruce said:Thanks much for the long detailed reply!
There is a giant mystery in the U.S. how posters from a few 1940s U.S. titles are beyond rare, while those from a few others show up in massive quantities, and yet everything else is of medium rareness. I imagine the U.S. answer for the super common ones is that there were "warehouse finds" of those, but I still have never found a good explanation for the few super rare 1940s titles.
I know there were substantial "warehouse finds" of certain Australian titles (that show up endlessly). Thanks for adding to my knowledge!
You can locate some thoughts of mine regarding Australian ''warehouse finds'' by checking out a previous forum thread titled ''Lack Of Stock Posters',' starting from a November 1924 entry.
Another located Monogram horror film Australian released rare BEF daybill of King Of The Zombies (1941), Also on display for comparison the U.SA. insert poster showing similar artwork.I have had the daybill image for a while but had forgotten about it until now. Some information that may interest you is this poster sold at an Australian auction on October 14, 2021. It had an estimate of A30-A80 listed, but ended up selling for A$450,
